Hi,

I would like to add commands, menu contributions, handlers programmatically. Is there any example available? For example all menus like File, Edit and all commands with handlers are defined programmatically.

thanks for assistance

Cheers,

Hi,

I have a small example of handler I made to open a dialog

public class AddressDialogHandler extends AbstractHandler implements IHandler {

	@Override
	public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {
		final Shell s = HandlerUtil.getActiveShellChecked(event);
		
		new AddressDialog(s).open();
		return null;
	}

}


Hope it helps

Thanks!
I would like to know how i would attach this handler to command programmatically, and how i can add that command to menucomtribution programtically and how menuContribution can be added to menu bar programmatically.

Actually, i would like to create menubars and toolbars programatically,

if i can get a few lines of code showing how to add one menuContribution to menu bar, and how to add one command to menucontribution and how to attach handler to command then it will be much easier for me to understand.


thanks in advance!

cheers,

Within org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point, in its <menuContribution> element is attribute class than can supply "content" of menu programmatically.

Checkout doc for org.eclipse.ui.menus:

<menuContribution
locationURI="menu:someorg.somemenu.id?after=additions">

class - If this optional attribute is specified the provided class will be instantiated and used to provide menu contributions at this location. If provided, all child elements will be ignored.

class must implement ExtensionContributionFactory. Could you provide an example?

Have a look at e.g. this guru Lars' post.

For the basic window menu structure, you can create that using your ActionBarAdvisor. Add MenuManagers for each of File, Edit, Help, etc.

You can also add CommandContributionItems directly to the MenuManager you create, hooking them up to commands. org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchCommandConstants has a good list of command IDs supplied by the workbench.
